PolicyOctober 28, 20261 min read

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering reported higher sales and operating profit for the third quarter of this year. The company shared the preliminary numbers in a regulatory filing on the 28th.

What happened

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries said it had preliminary third-quarter results on a consolidated basis. A consolidated basis means the numbers include the results of its subsidiaries. The company told the stock market about these numbers in an official filing on the 28th.

Key numbers

Sales: 8.2862 trillion won (about 8 trillion 286 billion won)
Operating profit: 1.4472 trillion won (about 1 trillion 447 billion won)
Sales rose 9.3% compared with the same quarter last year
Operating profit rose 37.3% compared with the same quarter last year

Some simple terms

Operating profit is the money a company earns from its main business, before taxes and some other costs. A preliminary number is an early estimate. The final numbers can change a little when the company completes its full report.

Why it matters

Both sales and operating profit grew, and profit grew faster than sales. This suggests the company earned more from each sale than it did last year. Investors often watch these numbers to judge how healthy a company is.
